Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital

device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide

reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This

equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed

and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio

communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a

particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or

television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the

user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is

connected

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help

FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party

responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment. This

device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two

conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must

accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired

operation.

IEEE 802.11b or 802.11g operation of this product in the U.S.A. is firmware-limited to

channels 1 through 11.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

FCC Radiation Exposure Statement

This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled

environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance

of 70 centimeters (27.5 inches) between the radiator and your body. This transmitter

must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

Wireless 5 GHz Band Statements:

As the Access Point can operate in the 5150-5250 MHz frequency band it is limited by

the FCC, Industry Canada and some other countries to indoor use only so as to reduce

the potential for harmful interference to co-channel Mobile Satellite systems.

High power radars are allocated as primary users (meaning they have priority) of the

5250-5350 MHz and 5650-5850 MHz bands. These radars could cause interference and

/or damage to the access point when used in Canada.

The term “IC:” before the radio certification number only signifies that Industry Canada

technical specifications were met.

Wireless 4.9 GHz Band Statement:

Installation and operation requires an approved license from the FCC.

Industry Canada - Class B

This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B limits for radio noise emissions from

digital apparatus as set out in the interference-causing equipment standard entitled

“Digital Apparatus,” ICES-003 of Industry Canada.

Cet appareil numérique respecte les limites de bruits radioélectriques applicables aux

appareils numériques de Classe B prescrites dans la norme sur le matérial brouilleur:

“Appareils Numériques,” NMB-003 édictée par l’Industrie.

Industry Canada Statement

Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

1) This device may not cause interference and

2) This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause

undesired operation of the device

This device has been designed to operate with an antenna having a maximum gain of

23 dB. Antenna having a higher gain is strictly prohibited per regulations of Industry

Canada. The required antenna Impedance is 50 ohms.

To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should

be so chosen that the EIRP is not more than required for successful communication.

Because high power radars are allocated as primary users (meaning they have priority) in

5250-5350 MHz, these radars could cause interference and/or damage to license exempt

LAN devices.

EC Conformance Declaration

Marking by the above symbol indicates compliance with the Essential Requirements of

the R&TTE Directive of the European Union (1999/5/EC). This equipment meets the

following conformance standards:

• EN 60950 (IEC 60950) - Product Safety

• EN 301 893 - Technical requirements for 5 GHz radio equipment

• EN 300 328 - Technical requirements for 2.4 GHz radio equipment

• EN 301 489-1 / EN 301 489-17 - EMC requirements for radio equipment

Countries of Operation & Conditions of Use in the European Community

This device is intended to be operated in all countries of the European Community.

Requirements for indoor vs. outdoor operation, license requirements and allowed

channels of operation apply in some countries as described below:

Note: The user must use the configuration utility provided with this product to ensure the

channels of operation are in conformance with the spectrum usage rules for European

Community countries as described below.

• This device requires that the user or installer properly enter the current country of operation

in the command line interface as described in the user guide, before operating this device.

• This device will automatically limit the allowable channels determined by the current country

of operation. Incorrectly entering the country of operation may result in illegal operation and

may cause harmful interference to other system. The user is obligated to ensure the device

is operating according to the channel limitations, indoor/outdoor restrictions and license

requirements for each European Community country as described in this document.

• This device employs a radar detection feature required for European Community operation

in the 5 GHz band. This feature is automatically enabled when the country of operation is

correctly configured for any European Community country. The presence of nearby radar

operation may result in temporary interruption of operation of this device. The radar detection

feature will automatically restart operation on a channel free of radar.

• The 5 GHz Turbo Mode feature is not allowed for operation in any European Community

country. The current setting for this feature is found in the 5 GHz 802.11a Radio Settings

Window as described in the user guide.
